    Does the god who supposedly created this world deserve to be worshipped?

    Submission to god is the essence of worship. Despite being atheist, I always liked that line; I read tao in it. Take it as it is, and smile. If one means "worship" in the sense of prostration before idols - which seems to be the prerequisite of most religions - then no. If one means, "I'm...

    Does the god who supposedly created this world deserve to be worshipped?

    The majority of the planet live in coastal areas and on rivers - yeah, bad stuff is gonna happen, cause water don't sit still. ;)

    What is the Sound of Silence in your faith?

    What is the sound of silence? Temporal geometry over identity. It is the way of Heaven not to strive, and yet it skillfully overcomes; not to speak, and yet it is skillful in obtaining a reply; does not call, and yet men come to it of themselves. Its demonstrations are quiet, and yet its...

    Are we pathetic?

    I don't do luck, I do will. I'm witchy like that. ;)

    Methods of Divination

    Tarot of Paris. The past year, I've used them twice; asking the cards questions about myself. Divining the self rather than the future. Cards are archetype, I'm agency shuffling the deck; there is no reason why they should not do accurate modeling, but there is no future. ;)

    Are we pathetic?

    Yeah. I'm not pathetic, I'm an atheist. "Win" is a moral consideration. I communicate to clear clutter out of nascent concept. To me, what seems incontrovertible is that religion must end. What I know through said communication, is that some see tao as religion; I don't, never have. But I...

    The True Mask of Evil-Human Beasts

    Morality. Why I keep it separate from ethical standard. Religion is fail building up a tower of babble that is only meant to confine, not define. Think mathematically. If it ain't infinity - it is zero. We do not live on a time line, we live on a ray of time, of self, of experience. The only...

    Can consciousness exist outside the body?

    Map-making in progress, Tristesse. ;) From where I sit, nnmartin is mapping dual-state identity onto archetype. I have a witch's view of archetype, but I also see the parallels in science. You know entropy? Second law? You know what makes us human, and not animals? Simulation. The only...

    A Personal Tao?

    For me, being Left-Hand path is much as you describe. I've always been "with tao," without feeling the need to label myself Taoist; and now Setian seems to be the appropriate label.

    The Highest Law

    Note where we had a breakdown of communication. My highest moral is "I love," not "love;" the difference is your second part above. ;) What is love? Love is Void, the emotional dynamic of least entropy, the long sought singularity necessary to mate Truth to identity. ;)

    Is it just me?

    Thank you. There was a perspective I failed to consider even after skimming the rules. I was just pleasantly surprised that I seem to "belong with and understand LHP" after about zero association prior to two weeks back. ;)

    Why are you an atheist?

    When you stop believing in reality, reality starts to believe in you. ;) Duality comes from identity; the "I" now/the "I" eternal, eternal in the sense of core ideal. "One reality for all" is patently absurd and easily falsified (it is more diplomatic to say "one reality for all for all time"...

    Do we actually have a choice in...anything?

    This is how it is done: you invent a superhero. You become the superhero. That is will. Forget about "free," forget about "meaning," forget about somebody else's philosophy. Go to a mirror, scope out who you see and what you see that person becoming; then get on it.

    The True Mask of Evil-Human Beasts

    Ideally between organic and inorganic; but food synthesis is a few years down the pike. The line should be drawn at the past, when men needed war; between the present, when men need to communicate. What line are you drawing, Thief? People share the identity of "country" so that "war" is less...
